Angels of the Resistance brings to life a deadly-effective and deeply moving sisterhoodSalazar shines a light on the grit and tragedy behind resistance work, never forgetting the humanity in her beautifully drawn heroines! Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Rose Code From the bestselling author of The Flight Girls comes another World War II story inspired by true events, about courageous women who risked everything for country, for family, and for each other. Netherlands, 1940 As bombs fall across Europe, fourteen-year-old Lien Vinke fears that the reality of war is inescapable. Though she lives a quiet life with her mother and older sister, Elif, in their small town of Haarlem, they are no strangers to heartache, having recently suffered an immeasurable loss. And when the Nazis invade the Netherlands, joining the Dutch resistance with Elif offers just the atonement Lien craves. Trained to shoot by their late father, the sisters are deadly wolves in sheeps clothing. They soon find themselves entrenched in the underground movement, forging friendships with the other young recruits, and Lien even discovers a kindred spirit in a boy named Charlie. But in wartime, emotional attachments are a liability she cant afford, especially when a deeply personal mission jeopardizes everything she holds dearher friendships, her family, and her one shot at redemption. This story of two teenage sisters who risk everything to join the Dutch Resistance is a dazzling tour-de-force of historical fiction. Karen Robards, bestselling author of The Black Swan of Paris

This is a fabulous historical fiction that was inspired by two actual Dutch teens that worked for the resistance in WWII. I found the characters to be wonderfully developed and the author did an amazing job of putting us in their shoes. The story has action, grief, family life and romance in addition to a wonderful epilogue. It was also the first WWII novel that I remember reading set in the Netherlands. I loved it! 5/5 stars.
